The meat processing industry includes slaughter houses for animals and fowl and also the processing and packing of meat products.
A wide range of different processes is used in this meat processing industry, generating solid and liquid wastes from the production processes. Wastewater will be highly loaded with feathers and hairs and blood causing very high COD, BOD5, grease and solids loads. This waste water is not suitable to be discharged directly to municipal sewer network as it is exceeding the discharge limit.
Water Management Concepts
Therefore, it is necessary to study the local situation to reduce the amount of incoming loads and minimize the treated water loads that it can comply with the sewer discharge limits. The water management and process optimization is providing the results.
Waste Water Recycling
Meat industries have high demand of process water for cleaning and different applications, the full waste water treatment is considerable. The water can be recycled to highest quality and used for cooling, process, washing and also irrigation purpose.
Treatment Steps
MENA-Water uses state-of-the-art plant technologies such as chemico-physical, biological treatment with membrane processes and combinations thereof. We customize exactly to the respective requirements and specifications. A combination of several processes is necessary to achieve the optimum results for process water treatment concerning the reuse.
- Fine Screening and Grit Removal
- Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF)
- Membrane Bio Reactor (MBR)
- Reverse Osmosis (RO)
- Disinfection
- Sludge treatment
MENA-Water develops, builds, and installs treatment plants for effluent water, which are tailored to the respective task, economical and environmentally friendly.
